Yeah, and I think all three of those occurrences stem from any given individuals ego not being consistent with their inner self. The ego leads over the inner self as the world is currently set up. And not just with individual people but the entire civilized world has essentially become 'Westernized'.

"And I understood that in an age where there was so much ego, because of the camera, that it was very important to look for that kind of player, ... I began to look for the kind of player that doesn't need his ego fed by stardom, but will do what he's supposed to do because he knows the game and loves the game, and will do the job the right way even if someone else gets the glory." ~ Bill Belichick

good point..I hadnt thought of that...when the image portrayed is not the true inner self..so the things I mentioned become the mask..of course

and why do they annoy me?..and others too I expect..because we can tell they are the mask...and that the inner self is not the image portrayed..

that is so so very frustrating..especially if you happen to be one of the few people that can see through the mask

so you yearn for true people..transparent people..with warts and all..but at least real people....that try every day to improve..instead of hiding behind a facade

You have heard that it was said, "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy." But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have?

That's funny you write that because it reminded me of a recent experience I had with a good friend of mine who's one of those 'few' you mention. He's great at what he does and works with troubled people so he has a keen sense and we've been friends for ages. Anyways, I told him a little white lie about something (you can file under warts and all) and he was on me like white on rice, lol.

I felt so busted.

But I guess I can consider myself lucky to have friends like that to keep me in check when I need it.

Well one of the reasons why I use some of the great baseball pitchers as avatars is because they were so good at something and that is consistency & control. So it reminds me to try and be consistent with myself and what I put out there. And when I think of being a consistent individual I think of the true self and the ego (that which interfaces the world of man) of having a consistent relationship with one another. And you're correct in how the ego always wants to be 'right'. So it takes a lot of focused attention to understand what's coming from the mind and what's coming from the heart.

One of the things that's really helped me in working on having more consistency has been to have a greater respect for language and words because that's really the outlet for the ego when it comes to communicating with other people. And I remember my first year or two here just always catching myself writing something down that I would later go back over and see where 'the ego' of mine would embellish and exaggerate different points I would make. It took much conscious effort (and it still does) to reign in my ego so to speak so that it would be more in line with how my heart would measure 'truth' in what I was trying to convey.

1 Corinthians 15 31I die every day—I mean that, brothers—just as surely as I glory over you in Christ Jesus our Lord.---Perhaps thats what Paul meant when he said I die daily, perhaps. Perhaps thats what Jesus meant also. Matthew 16:24 NLT Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me.---Denying our egos is the biggest concern we ought to have. I too die daily also to my ego, at least I should. Much love to you Wildhoney U2 - A Day Without Me - 30 May 83 [link to www.youtube.com]

Wildhoney, honey...I would not wish for the harvest....you do not know what you say! It is only the evil forces that are looking for a harvest...they are Wiley in their ways...they will make you believe that you want a harvest...No No...the Harvest is for souls whom wish to leave this planet for one reason or another...which many do, however...it is a trick...to get you to agree to go with the other force to another place/planet/dimension...where more of the same feeding can take place.

This is not a good dream, this is a place that you want to run from...

It is good news really..if it happens..on a global level..as prophecies say..

To the ones as Angels..they will inherit in my opinion

the others..dunno what their destiny will be..but Im sure it will work out too ..in some way or other

Cos how can one be in paradise on earth happy knowing there is suffering somewhere else..no matter how wrong etc..the victims?

I doubt I could be happy knowing others were suffering some place..

And God is definitely better than that

so Im sure He must have thought of some other solution?

maybe..

maybe nothingness

thats what Im inclined to think

at least there wouldnt be suffering

it would maybe be the second death

the void..just energy recycled
